Consumer Description

A LOT OF INDICATOR LIGHTS CAME ON IN MY DASHBOARD INCLUDING ABS CONTROL FAILURE AMONG OTHER INDICATORS. I HAD THIS DIAGNOSED AT MY LOCAL VW DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS A FAILURE IN THE ABS CONTROL/PUMP UNIT AND IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. IT WAS A $2,500 REPAIR. I DID RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH VWS. THIS SAFETY RELATED PART FAILURE SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL GIVEN IT IS PART THAT HAS A HIGH FAILURE RATE. *TR
